jimbeam1 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I've got a feeling this lot may just surprise a few people. Lets start with the Italians..... I've been reading the hype on MSN, now I'm beginning to believe it. For me Rooney has a lot to put right. Even he is saying he can do it. I just hope so. Just dug my English shirt out and dusted it down. jb1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbeam1 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 So what are people doing? Getting a few hours shut eye beforehand and setting the alarm early or soldering on all the way through? I've had about 6hrs sleep in two days and if I carry on like this I won't make it to the last 16! I'll be setting the alarm for 4am. Then it's EN-GER-LAND EN-GER-LAND EN-GER-LAND Yep I will be sitting up in bed with my freshly laundered England shirt on. jb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunner Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 England to lose for the same reasons as in the past 40 years, they can't keep the ball, and can't win it back easily, so the Italians will do what every other European team has done since 1970, run 'em ragged by passing the ball across the park, then hit them on the counter.

bobwat Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Planning on watching the game on Thai TV with the sound down with English commentary from Radio 5 Live on my laptop using expatshield to get a UK IP address. If that doesn't work then I'll be paying for thaiexpattv. 4-0 to England :-) Try hola in Chrome browser. Automatically assigns an IP address for you. Works a treat. I watched the entire game last night on BBC1 Edited June 14, 2014 by bobwat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schondie Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Roy has spoken: "We want support from back home and for people to believe," said Hodgson. He mustn't have heard or seen Cameron's rousing good luck speech. It was pathetic though, so I don't blame Roy for ignoring it. Sickening. I didn't need to watch the video to know that it's stomach churning. "Call me Dave" isn't a man of the people but a pathetic upper class knobhead who tries hard at acting like a normal bloke. Rant over and good luck to England as we'll certainly need it. Woy deserves a result as he's a decent chap at the end of the day. Please England don't let your manager and us down too. PS. Forgot to mention that anyone in the Phatthalung area (not an area renowned for its expat community but may be passing through) looking for a beer, real coffee and maybe a home made pizza should PM me.

wooloomooloo Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I hope it's worth staying up for in the UK. I'll give it twenty minutes before the population wished they had gone to bed and John Motson states the inevitable 'oh, dear'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domenico Ernesto Esposito Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 At this time, the two teams, are not in good form. I think that will be a mediocre and not interesting game.... partly because the climate there is very hot and humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinglifeinthailand Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 If anyone has a sun box, they have English commentary on channel 8. just found it have been watching on 0000 and 0005 in thai last 2 days.

JASON THAI Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Guys please remeember Italy have not won there last 7 games so they are not in good form, England do have a young squad and some good players who are the future of England, Rooney will need to shine in this world cup as it will be his last, no one wants a fat 32 at the next world cup. Also this might be the last worlds cup for Gerrard & Lampard so they will give it there all. I think England will win 2-1 and they will make it to the quarter finals, remember if they win the group they will have easy teams to play in the second round.

RicePudding Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Borrowed from the smh.com.au “The England football team went to an orphanage in Rio on Wednesday. ‘It’s heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with no hope,” said Jose, aged six.

mad mary Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Raheem Sterling will start for England against Italy in their World Cup opener in Manaus tonight, according to Sky sources. The Liverpool winger will start on the right wing in place of Adam Lallana, but England will otherwise be unchanged from the team which started in the 0-0 draw with Honduras in their last warm-up match. There are no surprises at the back, with Joe Hart in goal and the now well-established back four of Glen Johnson, Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka and Gary Cahill. Skipper Steven Gerrard and Liverpool team-mate Jordan Henderson will provide the steel in midfield, with Sterling providing the width on the right and Manchester United's Danny Welbeck on the left. Wayne Rooney will start, operating behind Daniel Sturridge in an attacking England line-up full of pace. Italy earlier confirmed that their captain and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon will miss the match because of an injury. Team: Hart, Johnson, Baines, Jagielka, Cahill, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Welbeck, Rooney, Sturridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
